Scheduled For Kovembor Fourteen Fifteen. and (Continued from first page.) few hours before the appearance of the meteors until sunrise and the fall in temperature continued until November 21,when it reach ed 21 degrees from 54 degrees on the 12th. The rainy character of these years says Pro. MacBennett is remarkable. No records are ob tainable for 1 799. In 1833, in this vicinity generally, the rainfall was in excess of from 4 to 7 inch es above the mean of a quarter century. The summer of 1867 was nof.ed for irs heavy, incessant rains; there fell in the month of June 10.33 inches, and in July 6 iuches, or an aggregate for the first seven months of the year of 30.05 inches the annual average being about 43 inches. The month of August was an unusual rainy, one, a single downpour in the middle of that month having las tod 42 hours, with but a few hours of abatement September and Oc tober were pleasanc, but Novem ber and December, with their rain and snow, carried the year's record to about 57 inches, the highest ever known in this vicin iny. The year 1867 was also, like the other periodic years, remark able for snows and thunderstorms out of season and other phenom ena of an extraordinary charac ter. In the first week of Novem ber gren t tornadoes occurred in the West Indies, violent gales on our great Lakes, a remarkable thunderstorminMontreal whilein this vicinity the thermometer dropped, on the morning of the 7th, to 30 deg. and immediately began to run up again until it reached 47 deg. shortly after midnight. On November 11 the day at Washington, D. C, was unusually warm, ending in a vio lent thunderstorm at night, fol lowed immediately by a very high and cold wind and at noon a fall of snow. The present year,1901,has been just such a rainy one as those which have heretofore marked the Leonid periods. At the end of last August the rain and snow fall footed up for this vicinity about 30.4 inches or about 6 inch es more than the average of the first eight months dnring a period of 32 years. The extraordinary phenomena noted this year are precisely those which character, ized the previous periodical years. So that there seems sufficient reason to look forward with con fidence to a reappearance of the great Leonid shower this fall. A remarkable circumstance was no ted at Kinderhook, N. Y., on the 11th of November, 1833, two days before the great shower. Phos phorescent lights were seen on the tops of sticks, posts and other pointed objects, some of those lights being as large as the flame of a caudle, and having a dim white light pointing upward. At the same time the atmosphere appeared unusually red. This and many other phenomena that especially characterized' the periodic years lead not unreason ably to the conjecture that the passage of meteoric swarms and of comets, either close to or into the earth's orbit, affects seriously the atmosphere, the temperature and the weather of our planet" What Was in Him. "Children," said the teacher, while instructing the class in composition, "you should not at tempt any fights of fancy, but simply be yourselves, and other person's writings or draw inspir ation from outside sources." As a result of this advice John ny Wise turned in the following composition: "We should not attempt any flites of fancy, but rite what is in us. Inmethareismystummick, lungs, hart, liver, two apples', one piece of pie, one stick lemon can dy and my dinner." Baltimore American. "I had long si ffored from in digestion," writes G. A. LeDels, Cedar City, Mo. "Like others I tried many preparations but nev er found anything that did me good until I took Kodol Dyspep sia Cure. One bottle cured me. A friend who had Buffered simi larly I put on the use of Kodol Dyspepsia Cure. He is .gaining fast and will soon be able to work. Before he used Kodol Dyspepsia Cure indigestion had made him a total wreck. Trout's drug store.. Tour Column.
